Run the example

  1. Install and run the device gateway
  2. Download the Node.js client library
  3. Copy the root certificate of the gateway to your working directory. As default, the certificate(ca.crt) resides in cert of the installation directory.

  4. Change the gateway and the device information in example/status/test/test.js as needed.

     // the path of the root certificate
 const GATEWAY_CA_FILE = '../../../../cert/gateway/ca.crt';

 // the address of the gateway
 const GATEWAY_IP = '192.168.0.2';
 const GATEWAY_PORT = 4000;

 // the ip address of the target device
 const DEVICE_IP = '192.168.0.110';
 const DEVICE_PORT = 51211;
 const USE_SSL = false;

  5. Install packages.

     npm install

  6. Run.

     cd example/status/test
 node test.js

1. Connect to the gateway and the device

The example assumes you use the device gateway. For the master gateway or other connection options, refer to the Connect or ConnectMaster examples.

  var rootCa = fs.readFileSync(GATEWAY_CA_FILE);
  var sslCreds = grpc.credentials.createSsl(rootCa);
  var addr = `${GATEWAY_IP}:${GATEWAY_PORT}`;

  connect.initClient(addr, sslCreds);

  var deviceID = await connect.connectToDevice(DEVICE_IP, DEVICE_PORT, USE_SSL);

2. Check the type of the device

The status configuration is effective only for headless device such as BioEntry W2.

  function isHeadless(devType) {
    switch(devType) {
      case device.deviceMessage.Type.BIOENTRY_P2:
      case device.deviceMessage.Type.BIOENTRY_R2:
      case device.deviceMessage.Type.BIOENTRY_W2:
      case device.deviceMessage.Type.XPASS2:
      case device.deviceMessage.Type.XPASS2_KEYPAD:
      case device.deviceMessage.Type.XPASS_D2:
      case device.deviceMessage.Type.XPASS_D2_KEYPAD:
      case device.deviceMessage.Type.XPASS_S2:
        return true;

      default:
        return false;
    }
  }

  const capInfo = await device.getCapabilityInfo(deviceID);

  if(!isHeadless(capInfo.getType())) {
    connect.disconnect([deviceID]);
    return;
  }

3. Change the LED signal

There are 15 pre-defined status for which you can change the LED or buzzer signals. The example changes the LED signal for DEVICE_STATUS_NORMAL.

  const ledStateList = config.getLedstateList();

  for(let i = 0; i < ledStateList.length; i++) {
    if(ledStateList[i].getDevicestatus() == status.statusMessage.DeviceStatus.DEVICE_STATUS_NORMAL) {
      ledStateList[i].clearSignalsList();
      ledStateList[i].setCount(0);

      const ledSignal = new action.actionMessage.LEDSignal();
      ledSignal.setColor(device.deviceMessage.LEDColor.LED_COLOR_YELLOW);
      ledSignal.setDuration(2000);
      ledSignal.setDelay(0);

      ledStateList[i].addSignals(ledSignal);

      break;
    }
  }

  config.setLedstateList(ledStateList);

  await status.setConfig(devID, config);

4. Change the buzzer signal

The example changes the buzzer signal for DEVICE_STATUS_FAIL.

  const buzzerStateList = config.getBuzzerstateList();

  for(let i = 0; i < buzzerStateList.length; i++) {
    if(buzzerStateList[i].getDevicestatus() == status.statusMessage.DeviceStatus.DEVICE_STATUS_FAIL) {
      buzzerStateList[i].clearSignalsList();
      buzzerStateList[i].setCount(1);

      const buzzerSignal = new action.actionMessage.BuzzerSignal(); // 2 x 500ms beeps
      buzzerSignal.setTone(device.deviceMessage.BuzzerTone.BUZZER_TONE_HIGH);
      buzzerSignal.setDuration(500);
      buzzerSignal.setDelay(2);

      buzzerStateList[i].addSignals(buzzerSignal);
      buzzerStateList[i].addSignals(buzzerSignal);

      break;
    }
  }

  config.setBuzzerstateList(buzzerStateList);

  await status.setConfig(devID, config);
